What this card does

The Reckless Bomb attack deals 20 damage to every opponent Pokemon and takes 100 damage from itself.

The Reflect Energy attack moves an Energy card from Electrode G to a Benched Pokemon.

Signature attack

Reflect Energy

Move an Energy card attached to Electrode G to 1 of your Benched Pokémon. (30 damage)

This card uses a high risk strategy by dealing wide damage while hurting itself. It matters because it can clear multiple threats at once if you manage the self damage carefully.
